How To Install Android Ice Cream Sandwich On The HP TouchPad In Minutes

As slick, smooth and functional as webOS is on the HP TouchPad, and wherever the future of the platform may lie, there remains a problem – the shortage of apps.
While things may have improved in recent months – the addition of homebrew apps in Preware has been a particular boost – the fact remains that there are a whole host of application types and games that could run on the HP TouchPad, if only the developers had a mind to do so.
The economic factors clearly lean against this desire, so the legion of HP TouchPad owners (and there are a lot of us!) have one alternative – install Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Benefits Of Android

Development of Android on the HP TouchPad has been proceeding apace over the past few months, with various Alpha releases making way for regular builds that fix bugs and enable key functionality. We’re at the stage now where the HP TouchPad can run the latest Android operating system with little effort.
Naturally, this multiplies the number of apps and games that are available; currently the HP TouchPad has around 10,000 titles in the HP App Catalog, compared with 450,000 in Google Play (formerly the Android Market).
Using the method of installation described here, you will be able to install Android on your tablet alongside webOS, enabling you to switch back to the native OS whenever necessary.
